To all whom itmay concern Be it known that I, Pn'rnnzHawnms, a. citizen of the United States, IGSldlIlg. at.

Kokomo, in the county of Howardand State of Indiana,.have.invented a new and useful. Combination-Tool; and ;I do hereby declare the followingto be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will? enable others skilled inrthe tart towhich it:

appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to a new andtuseful driver and tack puller.

The main object of the invention, is to provide a novel tool, for handlingiron;

slabs and the like. This tool may be con-.

structed in such. ajmannerythat the same. may be adapted. for use as. 1a; pruner, for pruning trees and the like The invention comprises further features and combinationzof parts as hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawings and claimed.

In the drawings :-Figure 1 is aview of the tool, the same being constructed in :the form of pliers for han ling. iron; slabs and the like. Fig. 2 is a similar view of a tool, showing the same constructed. as a pruning device. Fig. 3 is .aview in:elevation ofthe form of tool ShOWIli in Fig. 11,.sh0wing;the

parts of the tool arranged indifierent post tions.

Referring to i the drawings .1 j and 2 .desig nate the handles of the tool. The handle :1 is provided with a strap member 3 for the reception of the forefinger of ones hand, while the handle 2 :is supplied with a strap 1 for receivingthe thumb of the hand. The

' rear end of the handle 51 terminates. in a shown. in Fig. 1.. Alink lljis conneot-ed between the lever 1 9 1 and Ethe forward: ex-.

screw driving device 15, while the rear end of the other handle is provided with a tack puller 6. j

Adjacent the forward. portion of 1 the handle 2a lateral projection .7 is provided,

to which the handle .member :1. is pivoted;

as at. 8. Also fulcrumed at the point 8 is a lever 19, which terminates in: ajaw 10, as

tremity. of the handle member 2, at the points indicated by the characters 12 and 13. The forward. portion 10f the handle member 1, beyond the pivot 8 is formed as a jaw 14,1

tocoiiperate with the jaw 10, for handling iron slabs and the like. The portion 15 be-.

tween the jaw 14.- and the pivot point. ;8is provided with a slot 16, through which the link 11 extends, thus affording guiding: means for the link. Extending Ilaterally from the forward portion. 17 of the jaw 2,1 and. between the projection 7 and the pivot point 12 is a lug 18, which is provided with a slot 19, in whichla headed in:20 of the 1 forward portion of the ban 1e member; :1. moves. This connection constitutes addi-l tional means for guiding the several. connections between the handle members, when bein moved relatively with regard to one anot er.

If desired the jaws l0. and 14: may be constructed as ;knives,as shown in Fig; 2, so that. the .tool may be used as a pruner.

On examining the drawings it will be apparent, that, when the handle members are. brought together, the jaws 10 and 14-. will in turn; be brou ht together,by virtueof: It)he connections 8 etween the handle memers.

From the foregoing it will be further noted thatythere has beenproduced a novel, simple, and efficient device which may act as pliers or:a pruner, and one which :has been found to be practical.

The handle members 1 and 2, adjacent the extension 7 are provided with toothedprojections 21, between which a pipe ortthe like may be gripped. By this feature the de-. vice may used as a pipe wrench.

The invention having been set forth, what isclaimed as new. and useful is In: combination, a 1 air of handle memhere, one being provi ed with a projection:

slot concentric with the pivot ofsaid handle name to this specification 'in the presence of 5 members, a pin passing ,through said ncontwo subscrihingWitnesszes. 1 centrictslot, and the first j aw said concentric r a Y, slot and said pin constituting means in midi PLTER'HAWKINS 5 tion: to the link for guiding said vhandle witnessesz i j members.
